    Here is the
      breif introduction. 
        I'm using the alias "Isaac", and used to work in what
      was called the CARET program in the 80's. During my time there, I worked
      with a lot of the technology that is clearly at work in the recent
      drone/strange craft sightings, most notably the "language" and
      diagrams seen on the underside of each craft. What follows is a lengthy
      letter about who I am, what I know, and what these sightings are (probably)
      all about. 
       
      The appearance of these photos has convinced me to release at least some
      of the numerous photographs and photocopied documents I still possess some
      20 years later that can explain a great deal about these sightings. On
      this site you will find some of these. They are available as high
      resolution scans that I am giving away free, PROVIDED THEY ARE NOT
      MODIFIED IN ANY WAY AND ARE KEPT TOGETHER ALONG WITH THIS WRITTEN
      MATERIAL. 
       
      I am also trying to get in touch with the witnesses so far, such as Chad,
      Rajman, Jenna, Ty, and the Lake Tahoe witness (especially Chad). I have
      advice for them that may be somewhat helpful in dealing with what they've
      seen and what I would recommend they do with what they know. If you are
      one of these witnesses, or can put me in touch with them, please contact
      Coast to Coast AM and let them know. 
      
       
       
       
      My Experience with the CARET Program and Extra-terrestrial Technology 
      Isaac, June 2007 
       
      This letter is part of a package I've assembled for Coast to Coast AM to
      distribute to its audience. It is a companion to numerous document and
      photo scans and should not be separated from them. 
       
      You can call me Isaac, an alias I've chosen as a simple measure of
      protection while I release what would be called tremendously sensitive
      information even by todays standards. “Sensitive” is not necessarily
      synonymous with “dangerous”, though, which is why my conscience is
      clear as I offer this material up for the public. My government has its
      reasons for its continual secrecy, and I sympathize with many of them, but
      the truth is that I'm getting old and I'm not interested in meeting my
      maker one day with any more baggage than necessary! Furthermore, I put a
      little more faith in humanity than my former bosses do, and I think that a
      release of at least some of this info could help a lot more than it could
      hurt, especially in today's world. 
       
      I should be clear before I begin, as a final note: I am not interested in
      making myself vulnerable to the consequences of betraying the trust of my
      superiors and will not divulge any personal information that could
      determine my identity. However my intent is not to deceive, so information
      that I think is too risky to share will be simply left out rather than
      obfuscated in some way (aside from my alias, which I freely admit is not
      my real name). I would estimate that with the information contained in
      this letter, I could be narrowed down to one of maybe 30-50 people at
      best, so I feel reasonably secure.
      
      
       
       
      
      
      Some Explanation for the Recent Sightings 
      
      
       
      For many years I've occasionally considered the release of at least some
      of the material I possess, but the recent wave of photos and sightings has
      prompted me to cut to the chase and do so now. 
       
      I should first be clear that I'm not directly familiar with any of the
      crafts seen in the photos in their entirety. I've never seen them
      in a hangar or worked on them myself or seen aliens zipping around in them.
      However, I have worked with and seen many of the parts visible in
      these crafts, some of which can be seen in the Q3-85 Inventory Review scan
      found at the top of this page. More importantly though, I'm very familiar
      with the “language” on their undersides seen clearly in photos by Chad
      and Rajman, and in another form in the Big Basin photos. 
       
      One question I can answer for sure is why they're suddenly here. These
      crafts have probably existed in their current form for decades, and I can
      say for sure that the technology behind them has existed for decades
      before that. The “language”, in fact, (I'll explain shortly why I keep
      putting that in quotes) was the subject of my work in years past. I'll
      cover that as well. 
       
      The reason they're suddenly visible, however, is another matter entirely.
      These crafts, assuming they're anything like the hardware I worked with in
      the 80's (assuming they're better, in fact), are equipped with technology
      that enables invisibility. That ability can be controlled both on board
      the craft, and remotely. However, what's important in this case is that
      this invisibility can also be disrupted by other technology. Think of it
      like radar jamming. I would bet my life savings (since I know this has
      happened before) that these craft are becoming visible and then returning
      to invisibility arbitrarily, probably unintentionally, and undoubtedly for
      only short periods, due to the activity of a kind of disrupting technology
      being set off elsewhere, but nearby. I'm especially sure of this in the
      case of the Big Basin sightings, were the witnesses themselves reported
      seeing the craft just appear and disappear. This is especially likely
      because of the way the witness described one of the appearances being only
      a momentary flicker, which is consistent with the unintentional,
      intermittent triggering of such a device. 
       
      It's no surprise that these sightings are all taking place in California,
      and especially the Saratoga/South Bay area. Not far from Saratoga is
      Mountain View/Sunnyvale, home to Moffett Field and the NASA Ames Research
      center. Again, I'd be willing to bet just about anything that the device
      capable of hijacking the cloaking of these nearby craft was inadvertently
      triggered, probably during some kind of experiment, at the exact moment
      they were being seen. Miles away, in Big Basin, the witnesses were in the
      right place at the right time and saw the results of this disruption with
      their own eyes. God knows what else was suddenly appearing in the skies at
      that moment, and who else may have seen it. I've had some direct contact
      with this device, or at least a device capable of the same thing, and this
      kind of mistake is not unprecedented. I am personally aware of at least
      one other incident in which this kind of technology was accidentally set
      off, resulting in the sudden visibility of normally invisible things. The
      only difference is that these days, cameras are a lot more common! 
       
      The technology itself isn't ours, or at least it wasn't in the 80's. Much
      like the technology in these crafts themselves, the device capable of
      remotely hijacking a vehicle's clacking comes from a non-human source too.
      Why we were given this technology has never been clear to me, but it's
      responsible for a lot. Our having access to this kind of device, along
      with our occasionally haphazard experimentation on them, has lead to
      everything from cloaking malfunctions like this to full-blown crashes. I
      can assure you that most (and in my opinion all) incidents of UFO crashes
      or that kind of thing had more to do with our meddling with extremely
      powerful technology at an inopportune time than it did mechanical failure
      on their part. Trust me, those things don't fail unless something even
      more powerful than them makes them fail (intentionally or not). Think of
      it like a stray bullet. You can be hit by one at any time, without warning,
      and even the shooter didn't intent to hit you. I can assure you heads are
      rolling over this as well. If anyone notices a brilliant but sloppy
      physicist patrolling the streets of Baghdad in the next couple weeks, I'd
      be willing to guess how he got there. (I kid, of course, as I certainly
      hope that hasn't actually happened in this case) 
       
      I'd now like to explain how it is that I know this. 
       
      
      The CARET Program
       
       
      My story begins the same as it did for many of my co workers, with
      graduate and post-graduate work at university in electrical engineering.
      And I had always been interested in computer science, which was a very new
      field at the time, and my interest piqued with my first exposure to a Tixo
      during grad school. In the years following school I took a scenic route
      through the tech industry and worked for the kinds of companies you would
      expect, until I was offered a job at the Department of Defense and things
      took a very different turn. 
       
      My time at the DoD was mostly uneventful but I was there for quite a while.
      I apparently proved myself to be reasonably intelligent and loyal. By 1984
      these qualities along with my technical background made me a likely
      candidate for a new program they were recruiting for called “CARET”. 
       
      Before I explain what CARET was I should back up a little. By 1984,
      Silicon Valley had been a juggernaut of technology for decades. In the
      less than 40 years since the appearance of Shockley’s transistor this
      part of the world had already produced a multi billion dollar computer
      industry and made technological strides that were unprecedented in other
      fields, from hypertext and online collaboration in '68 to the Alto in '73. 
       
      Private industry in Silicon Valley was responsible for some of the most
      incredible technological leaps in history and this fact did not go
      unnoticed by the US government and military. I don’t claim to have any
      special knowledge about Roswell or any of the other alleged early UFO
      events, but I do know that whatever the exact origin, the military was
      hard at work trying to understand and use the extra-terrestrial artifacts
      it had in its possession. While there had been a great deal of progress
      overall, things were not moving as quickly as some would have liked. So,
      in 1984, the CARET program was created with the aim of harnessing the
      abilities of private industry in silicon valley and applying it to the
      ongoing task of understanding extra-terrestrial technology. 
       
      One of the best examples of the power of the tech sector was Xerox PARC, a
      research center in Palo Alto, CA. XPARC was responsible for some of the
      major milestones in the history of computing. While I never had the
      privilege of working there myself I did know many of the people who did
      and I can say that they were among the brightest engineers I ever knew. 
       
      XPARC served as one of the models for the CARET program’s first
      incarnation, a facility called the Palo Alto CARET Laboratory (PACL,
      lovingly pronounced “packle” during my time there). This was where I
      worked, along with numerous other civilians, under the auspices of
      military brass who were eager to find out how the tech sector made so much
      progress so quickly. My time at the DoD was a major factor behind why I
      was chosen, and in fact about 30+ others who were hired around the same
      time had also been at the Department about as long, but this was not the
      case for everyone. A couple of my co-workers were plucked right from
      places like IBM and, at least two of them came from XPARC itself. My DoD
      experience did make me more eligable for positions of management, however,
      which is how I have so much of this material in my possession to begin
      with. 
       
      So in other words, civilians like myself who had at--at most--some decent
      experience working for the DoD but no actual military training or
      involvement, were suddenly finding ourselves in the same room as highly
      classified extra-terrestrial technology. Of course they spent about 2
      months briefing us all before we saw or did anything, and did their best
      to convince us that if we ever leaked a single detail about what we were
      being told, they’d do everything short of digging up our ancestors and
      putting a few slugs in them too just for good measure. It seemed like
      there was an armed guard in every corner of every room. I’d worked under
      some pretty hefty NDAs in my time but this was so far out of my depth I
      didn’t think I was going to last 2 weeks in an environment like that.
      But amazingly things got off to a good start. They wanted us, plain and
      simple, and our industry had shown itself to be so good at what it did
      that they were just about ready to give us carte blanche. 
       
      Of course, nothing with the military is ever that simple, and as is often
      the case they wanted to have their cake and eat it too. What I mean by
      this is that despite their interest in picking our brains and learning
      whatever they could from our way of doing things, they still wanted to do
      it their way often enough to frustrate us. 
       
      At this point I'm going to gloss over the emotional side of this
      experience, because this letter isn't intended to be a memoir, but I will
      say that there's almost no way to describe the impact this kind of
      revelation has on your mind. There are very few moments in life in which
      your entire world view is turned forever upside down, but this was one of
      them. I still remember that turning point during the briefing when I
      realized what he'd just told us, and that I hadn't heard him wrong, and
      that it wasn't some kind of joke. In retrospect the whole thing feels like
      it was in slow motion, from that slight pause he took just before the term
      “extra-terrestrial” came out for the first time, to the way the room
      itself seemed to go off kilter as we collectively tried to grasp what was
      being said. My reflex kept jumping back and forth between trying to look
      at the speaker, to understand him better, and looking at everyone else
      around me, to make sure I wasn't the only one that was hearing this. At
      the risk of sounding melodramatic, it's a lot like a child learning his
      parents are divorcing. I never experienced that myself, but a very close
      friend of mine did when were boys, and he confided in me a great deal
      about what the experience felt like. A lot of what he said would aptly
      describe what I was feeling in that room. Here was a trusted authority
      figure telling you something that you just don't feel ready for, and
      putting a burden on your mind that you don't necessarily want to carry.
      The moment that first word comes out, all you can think about it is what
      it was like only seconds ago, and knowing that life is never going to be
      as simple as it was then. After all that time at the DoD, I thought I at
      least had some idea of what was going on in the world, but I'd never heard
      so much as a peep about this. Maybe one day I'll write more on this aspect,
      because it's the kind of thing I really would like to get off my chest,
      but for now I'll digress. 
       
      Unlike traditional research in this area, we weren’t working on new toys
      for the air force. For numerous reasons, the CARET people decided to aim
      its efforts at commercial applications rather than military ones. They
      basically wanted us to turn these artifacts into something they could
      patent and sell. One of CARET’s most appealing promises was the revenue
      generated by these product-ready technologies, which could be funneled
      right back into black projects. Working with a commercial application in
      mind was also yet another way to keep us in a familiar mind state.
      Developing technology for the military is very different than doing so for
      the commercial sector, and not having to worry about the difference was
      another way that CARET was very much like private industry. 
       
      CARET shined in the way it let us work the way we were used to working.
      They wanted to recreate as much of the environment we were used to as they
      could without compromising issues like security. That meant we got free
      reign to set up our own workflow, internal management structure, style
      manuals, documentation, and the like. They wanted this to look and feel
      like private industry, not the military. They knew that was how to get the
      best work out of us, and they were right. 
       
      But things didn’t go as smoothly when it came to matters like access to
      classified information. They were exposing what is probably their single
      biggest secret to a group of people who had never even been through basic
      training and it was obvious that the gravity of this decision was never
      far from their minds. We started the program with a small set of
      extra-terrestrial artifacts along with fairly elaborate briefings on each
      as well as access to a modest amount of what research had already been
      completed. It wasn’t long before we realized we needed more though, and
      getting them to provide even the smallest amount of new material was like
      pulling teeth. CARET stood for “Commercial Applications Research for
      Extra-terrestrial Technology”, but we often joked that it should have
      stood for “Civilians Are Rarely Ever Trusted.” 
       
      PACL was located in Palo Alto, but unlike XPARC, it wasn’t at the end of
      a long road in the middle of a big complex surrounded by rolling hills and
      trees. PACL was hidden in an office complex owned entirely by the military
      but made to look like an unassuming tech company. From the street, all you
      could see was what appeared to be a normal parking lot with a gate and a
      guard booth, and a 1-story building inside with a fictitious name and
      logo. What wasn’t visible from the street was that behind the very first
      set of doors was enough armed guards to invade Poland, and 5 additional
      underground stories. They wanted to be as close as possible to the kinds
      of people they were looking to hire and be able to bring them in with a
      minimum of fuss. 
       
      Inside, we had everything we needed. State of the art hardware and a staff
      of over 200 computer scientists, electrical engineers, mechanical
      engineers, physicists and mathematicians. Most of us were civilians, as
      I’ve said, but some were military, and a few of them had been working on
      this technology already. Of course, you were never far from the barrel of
      a machine gun, even inside the labs themselves (something many of us never
      got used to), and bi-weekly tours were made by military brass to ensure
      that not a single detail was out of line. Most of us underwent extensive
      searches on our way into and out of the building. There it was, probably
      the biggest secret in the world, in a bunch of parts spread out on
      laboratory tables in the middle of Palo Alto so you can imagine their
      concern. 
       
      One downside to CARET was that it wasn't as well-connected as other
      operations undoubtedly were. I never got to see any actual
      extra-terrestrials (not even photos), and in fact never even saw one of
      their compete vehicles. 99% of what I saw was related to the work at hand,
      all of which was conducted within a very narrow context on individual
      artifacts only. The remaining 1% came from people I met through the
      program, many of which working more closely with “the good stuff” or
      had in the past. 
       
      In fact, what was especially amusing about the whole affair was the way
      that our military management almost tried to act as if the technology we
      were essentially reverse engineering wasn't extra-terrestrial at all.
      Aside from the word “extra-terrestrial” itself, we rarely heard any
      other terms like “alien” or “UFO” or “outer space” or anything.
      Those aspects were only mentioned briefly when absolutely necessary to
      explain something. In many cases it was necessary to differentiate between
      the different races and their respective technology, and they didn't even
      use the word “races”. They were referred to simply as different “sources”. 
       
      
      The Technology
       
       
      A lot of the technology we worked on was what you would expect, namely
      antigravity. Most of the researchers on the staff with backgrounds in
      propulsion and rocketry were military men, but the technology we were
      dealing with was so out of this world that it didn’t really matter all
      that much what your background was because none of it applied. All we
      could hope to do was use the vocabulary of our respective fields as a way
      to model the extremely bizarre new concepts we were very slowly beginning
      to understand as best we could. A rocket engineer doesn’t usually rub
      elbows much with a computer scientist, but inside PACL, we were all
      equally mystified and were ready to entertain any and all ideas. 
       
      The physicists made the most headway initially because out of all of our
      skills, theirs overlapped the most with the concepts behind this
      technology (although that isn’t saying much!) Once they got the ball
      rolling though, we began to find that many of the concepts found in
      computer science were applicable as well, albeit in very vague ways. While
      I didn’t do a lot of work with the antigrav hardware myself, I was
      occasionally involved in the assessment of how that technology was meant
      to interface with its user. 
       
      The antigrav was amazing, of course, as were the advances we were making
      with materials engineering and so on. But what interested me most then,
      and still amazes me most to this day, was something completely unrelated.
      In fact, it was this technology that immediately jumped out at me when I
      saw the Chad and Rajman photos, and even moreso in the Big Basin photos.
      
       
      
       
       
      
      The “Language”
       
       
      I put the word Language in quotes because calling what I am about to
      describe a “language” is a misnomer, although it is an easy mistake to
      make. 
       
      Their hardware wasn’t operated in quite the same way as ours. In our
      technology, even today, we have a combination of hardware and software
      running almost everything on the planet. Software is more abstract than
      hardware, but ultimately it needs hardware to run it. In other words,
      there’s no way to write a computer program on a piece of paper, set that
      piece of paper on a table or something, and expect it to actually do
      something. The most powerful code in the world still doesn’t actually do
      anything until a piece of hardware interprets it and translates its
      commands into actions. 
       
      But their technology is different. It really did operate like the magical
      piece of paper sitting on a table, in a manner of speaking. They had
      something akin to a language, that could quite literally execute itself,
      at least in the presence of a very specific type of field. The language, a
      term I am still using very loosely, is a system of symbols (which does
      admittedly very much resemble a written language) along with geometric
      forms and patterns that fit together to form diagrams that are themselves
      functional. Once they are drawn, so to speak, on a suitable surface made
      of a suitable material and in the presence of a certain type of field,
      they immediately begin performing the desired tasks. It really did seem
      like magic to us, even after we began to understand the principles behind
      it. 
       
      I worked with these symbols more than anything during my time at PACL, and
      recognized them the moment I saw them in the photos. They appear in a very
      simple form on Chad’s craft, but appear in the more complex diagram form
      on the underside of the Big Basin craft as well. Both are unmistakable,
      even at the small size of the Big Basin photos. An example of a diagram in
      the style of the Big Basin craft is included with this in a series of
      scanned pages from the [mistitled] "Linguistic Analysis Primer".
      We needed a copy of that diagram to be utterly precise, and it took about
      a month for a team of six to copy that diagram into our drafting program! 
       
      Explaining everything I learned about this technology would fill up
      several volumes, but I will do my best to explain at least some of the
      concepts as long as I am taking the time to write all this down. 
       
      First of all, you wouldn't open up their hardware to find a CPU here, and
      a data bus there, and some kind of memory over there. Their hardware
      appeared to be perfectly solid and consistent in terms of material from
      one side to the other. Like a rock or a hunk of metal. But upon [much]
      closer inspection, we began to learn that it was actually one big
      holographic computational substrate - each "computational
      element" (essentially individual particles) can function
      independently, but are designed to function together in tremendously large
      clusters. I say its holographic because you can divide it up into the
      smallest chunks you want and still find a scaled-down but complete
      representation of the whole system. They produce a nonlinear computational
      output when grouped. So 4 elements working together is actually more than
      4 times more powerful than 1. Most of the internal "matter" in
      their crafts (usually everything but the outermost housing) is actually
      this substrate and can contribute to computation at any time and in any
      state. The shape of these "chunks" of substrate also had a
      profound effect on its functionality, and often served as a "shortcut"
      to achieve a goal that might otherwise be more complex. 
       
      So back to the language. The language is actually a "functional
      blueprint". The forms of the shapes, symbols and arrangements thereof
      is itself functional. What makes it all especially difficult to
      grasp is that every element of each "diagram" is dependant on
      and related to every other element, which means no single detail can be
      created, removed or modified independently. Humans like written language
      because each element of the language can be understood on its own, and
      from this, complex expressions can be built. However, their "language"
      is entirely context-sensitive, which means that a given symbol could mean
      as little as a 1-bit flag in one context, or, quite literally, contain the
      entire human genome or a galaxy star map in another. The ability for a
      single, small symbol to contain, not just represent,
      tremendous amounts of data is another counter-intuitive aspect of this
      concept. We quickly realized that even working in groups of 10 or more on
      the simplest of diagrams, we found it virtually impossible to get anything
      done. As each new feature was added, the complexity of the diagram
      exponentially grew to unmanageable proportions. For this reason we began
      to develop computer-based systems to manage these details and achieved
      some success, although again we found that a threshold was quickly reached
      beyond which even the supercomputers of the day were unable to keep up.
      Word was that the extra-terrestrials could design these diagrams as
      quickly and easily as a human programmer could write a Fortran program.
      It's humbling to think that even a network of supercomputers wasn't able
      to duplicate what they could do in their own heads. Our entire system of
      language is based on the idea of assigning meaning to symbols. Their
      technology, however, somehow merges the symbol and the meaning, so a
      subjective audience is not needed. You can put whatever meaning you want
      on the symbols, but their behavior and functionality will not change, any
      more than a transistor will function differently if you give it another
      name. 
       
      Here's an example of how complex the process is. Imagine I ask you to
      incrementally add random words to a list such that no two words use any of
      the same letters, and you must perform this exercise entirely in your
      head, so you can't rely on a computer or even a pen and paper. If the
      first in the list was, say, "fox", the second item excludes all
      words with the letters F, O and X. If the next word you choose is "tree",
      then the third word in the list can't have the letters F, O, X, T, R, or E
      in it. As you can imagine, coming up with even a third word might start to
      get just a bit tricky, especially since you can't easily visualize the
      excluded letters by writing down the words. By the time you get to the
      fourth, fifth and sixth words, the problem has spiraled out of control.
      Now imagine trying to add the billionth word to the list (imagine also
      that we're working with an infinite alphabet so you don't run out of
      letters) and you can imagine how difficult it is for even a computer to
      keep up. Needless to say, writing this kind of thing "by hand"
      is orders of magnitude beyond the capabilities of the brain. 
       
      My background lent itself well to this kind of work though. I'd spent
      years writing code and designing both analog and digital circuits, a
      process that at least visually resembled these diagrams in some way. I
      also had a personal affinity for combinatorics, which served me well as I
      helped with the design of software running on supercomputers that could
      juggle the often trillions of rules necessary to create a valid
      diagram of any reasonable complexity. This overlapped quite a bit with
      compiler theory as well, a subject I always found fascinating, and in
      particular compiler optimization, a field that wasn't half of what it is
      today back then. A running joke among the linguistics team was that Big-O
      notation couldn't adequately describe the scale of the task, so we'd
      substitute other words for "big". By the time I left I remember
      the consensus was "Astronomical-O" finally did it justice. 
       
      Like I said, I could go on for hours about this subject, and would love to
      write at least an introductory book on the subject if it wasn't still
      completely classified, but that's not the point of this letter so I'll try
      to get back on track. 
       
      The last thing I'd like to discuss is how I got copies of this material,
      what else I have in my possession, and what I plan to do with it in the
      future.
      
       
      Comment: a
      norwegian man having in a kind of trance, got a lot (hundreds of pages) of
      messages in such coded cosmic/telepathic language as such signs (most in
      the late 80ths) - also seemingly technical stuff - just click some of the
      links down on http://galactic21.no-ip.com/torealf/romsk.html 
      (alternative
      link)- but you will probably not understand much of it. He means
      someone in the (near?) future will be able to understand and make use of
      this information. More "understandable"
      high-tech  have he got telepatic transferred and made online on http://galactic21.no-ip.com/torealf/tekno.html 
      and on http://galactic21.no-ip.com/torealf/ginfo.html
      (alt.link)
      It is to remark that he also claims having memory on making a walk-in into
      his (then) borrowed babybody in 1958!!- coming directly together with a
      group of 7 from a spaceship, which he remember  came from Sirius!!
      Well, allegedly far-out claims- but as I personally knows him, I do KNOW
      that with his (hight-tech)-knowledge, he cannot be from "here".
      He has also an intuitive insight in data, and I always call him when the
      pc or server is down. His mother very early understood that he was SO
      unlike his 2 y older brother, and was something very special she says.... 
      Then back to this man now leaking
      info of the secret work he was on: 
       
      
       
      
      My Collection
       
       
      I worked at PACL from 1984 to 1987, by which time I was utterly burned
      out. The sheer volume of details to keep in mind while working with the
      diagrams was enough to challenge anyone's sanity, and I was really at the
      end of my rope with the military's attitude towards our “need to
      know”. Our ability to get work done was constantly hampered by their
      reluctance to provide us with the necessary information, and I was tired
      of bureaucracy getting in the way of research and development. I left
      somewhere in the middle of a 3-month bell curve in which about a quarter
      of the entire PACL staff left for similar reasons. 
       
      I was also starting to disagree with the direction the leadership wanted
      to take as far as the subject of extra-terrestrials went. I always felt
      that at least some form of disclosure would be beneficial, but as a lowly
      CARET engineer I wasn't exactly in the position to call shots. The truth
      is, our management didn't even want us discussing non-technical
      aspects of this subject (such as ethical or philosophical issues), even
      among ourselves, as they felt it was enough of a breach of security to let
      civilians like us anywhere near this kind of thing in the first place. 
       
      So, about 3 months before I resigned (which was about 8 months before I
      was really out, since you don't just walk out of a job like that
      with a 2 week notice). I decided to start taking advantage of my position.
      As I mentioned earlier, my DoD experience got me into an internal
      management role sooner than some of my colleagues, and after about a year
      of that kind of status, the outgoing searches each night became slightly
      less rigorous. Normally, we were to empty out any containers, bags or
      briefcases, then remove our shirt and shoes and submit to a kind of
      frisking. Work was never allowed to go home with you, no matter who
      you were. For me, though, the briefcase search was eventually enough. 
       
      Even before I actually decided to do it, I was sure that I would be able
      to sneak certain materials out with me. I wanted to do this because I knew
      the day would come when I would want to write something like this, and I
      knew I'd regret it until the day I died if I didn't at least leave the
      possibility open to do so. So I started photocopying documents and reports
      by the dozen. I'd then put the papers under my shirt around my lower back,
      tucked enough into my belt to ensure they wouldn't fall out. I could do
      this in any one of a few short, windowless hallways on some of the lower
      floors, which were among the few places that didn't have an armged guard
      watching my every move. I'd walk in one end with a stack of papers large
      enough that when I came out the other end with some of them in my shirt,
      there wouldn't be a visible difference in what I was holding. You
      absolutely cannot be too careful if you're going to pull a stunt
      like this. As long as I walked carefully they wouldn't make a crinkling
      noise. In fact, the more papers I took, the less noise they made, since
      they weren't as flimsy that way. I'd often take upwards of 10-20 pages at
      once. By the time I was done, I'd made out with hundreds of photocopies,
      as well as a few originals and a large collection of original photographs. 
       
      With this initial letter I have attached high resolution scans of the
      following: 
      
       
      
        - A page from an inventory review with a photo that
          appears to depict one of the parts found in the Rajman sighting and
          parts very similar to the Big Basin craft
 
        - The first 9 pages of one of our quarterly research
          reports
 
        - Scans of the original photographs used in that
          report, since the photocopies obscure most of the details
 
        - 5 pages from a report on our ongoing analysis of the
          “language” (inappropriately titled “linguistic analysis”),
          depicting the kind of diagram just barely visible on the underside of
          the Big Basin craft
 
       
      This material is the most relevant and explanatory I could
      find on short notice. Now that these are up, IF I decide to release more
      in the future, I'll be able to take my time and better search this rather
      large collection of mine that I've sadly never organized. I'm not sure
      what I'll be doing with the rest of the collection in the future. I
      suppose I'll wait and see how this all plays out, and then play it by ear.
      There are certainly risks involved in what I'm doing, and if I were to
      actually be identified and caught, there could be rather serious
      consequences. However, I've taken the proper steps to ensure a reasonable
      level of anonymity and am quite secure in the fact that the information
      I've so far provided is by no means unique among many of the CARET
      participants. 
       
      Besides, part of me has always suspected that the government relies on the
      occasional leak like this, and actually wants them to happen, because it
      contributes to a steady, slow-paced path towards revealing the truth of
      this matter.
      
      
       
       
      
      Since Leaving CARET
       
       
      Like I said, I left PACL in '87, but have kept in touch with a great many
      of my friends and coworkers from those days. Most of us are retired by now,
      except of course for those of us that went on to get teaching jobs, but a
      few of us still hear things through the grapevine. 
       
      As for CARET itself, I'm not sure what's become of it. Whether it's still
      known by the same name, I'm quite sure it's still active in some capacity,
      although who knows where. I heard from a number of people that PACL closed
      up shop a few years after I left, but I've still yet to get a clear answer
      on why exactly that happened. But I'm sure the kind of work we did there
      is still going strong. I've heard from a lot of friends that there are
      multiple sites like PACL in Sunnyvale and Mountain View, also disguised to
      look like unremarkable office space. But this is all second-hand
      information so you can make of it what you will. 
       
      Around 2002 or so I came across Coast to Coast AM and have been hooked
      ever since. I admit, I don't take most of the show's content as anything
      more than entertainment, but there have been occasions when I could be
      sure a guest was clearly speaking from experience or a well-informed
      source. For me, there's just something very surreal about hearing all this
      speculation and so-called inside information about UFOs and the like, but
      being personally able to verify at least some of it as being true or
      false. It's also a nightly reminder of how hectic things were in those
      days, which helps me enjoy my retirement all the more. Knowing I'm not
      part of that crazy world anymore really is something I enjoy on a daily
      basis, as much as I miss some of it. 
       
      
      Conclusion
       
       
      What I've shared so far is only a very small portion of what I have, and
      what I know. Despite the very sheltered and insulated atmosphere within
      CARET, I did ultimately learn a great deal from various colleagues, and
      some of what I learned is truly incredible. I'd also like to say that for
      what it's worth, during my time there I never heard anything about
      invasions, or abductions, or many of the more frightening topics that
      often pop up on Coast to Coast AM. That's not to say that none of it is
      true, but in my time working alongside some of the most well-connected
      people in this field, it never came up. So at the very least I can say my
      intent is not to scare anyone. My view on the extra-terrestrial situation
      is very much a positive, albiet still highly secretive one. 
       
      One thing I can definitely say is that if they wanted us gone, we would
      have been gone a very, very long time ago, and we wouldn't even
      have seen it coming. Throw out your ideas about a space war or anything
      silly like that. We'd be capable of fighting back against them about as
      much as ants could fight back against a stampede of buffalo. But that's
      OK. We're the primitive race, they're the advanced races, and that's just
      the way it is. The other advanced races let them live through their
      primitive years back in their day, and there's no reason to think it will
      be any different for us. They aren't in the market for a new planet, and
      even if they were, there are way too many planets out there for them to
      care about ours enough to take it by force. 
       
      To reiterate my take on the recent sightings, I'd guess that
      experimentation done in the last couple months on a device that, among
      other things, is capable of interfering with various crafts onboard
      invisibility has resulted in a sudden wave of sightings. It may not
      explain all of the recent events, but like I said, I'd bet my life that's
      exactly what happened at Big Basin at least, and it's probably related in
      some way to the Chad, Rajman and Tahoe sightings. So, despite all the
      recent fanfare over this, I'd say this doesn't mean much. Most importantly,
      they aren't suddenly “here”. They've been here for a long time, but
      just happened to turn unintentionally visible for brief periods recently. 
       
      Lastly, there are so many people selling books, and DVDs, and doing
      lectures, and all that, that I would like to reiterate the fact that I am not
      here to sell anything. The material I'm sharing is free to distribute
      provided it's all kept intact and unmodified, and this letter is included.
      I tend to question the motives of anyone charging money for their
      information, and will assure you that I will never do such a thing. And in
      the future, just to cover all the bases, anyone claiming to be me who's
      selling a DVD or book is most certainly not going to be me. 
       
      Any future releases from me will come from the email address I've used to
      contact Coast to Coast AM, and will be sent to them only. I'd like to make
      this clear as well to ensure that people can be sure that any future
      information comes from the same source, although I must be clear: at this
      time I do not have any future plans for additional information. Time will
      tell how long I will maintain this policy, but do not expect anything soon.
      I'd really like to let this information “settle” for a while and see
      how it goes. If I find out I'm getting an IRS audit tomorrow, then maybe
      this wasn't too smart. Until then, I'm going to take it slow. I hope this
      information has been helpful.
